Hi. Yes, definately an Aeon v2 LE. It's a really good saber to have in your collection. You will appreciate this narrower saber a lot as you get a chance to give it a good workout. It's true that no Initiates will be given out in a grab bag due to their lower base price. What do you mean by you need to buy set screws ? Should have come with two screws whether or not a blade was purchased. You can purchase set screws at almost any home hardware. #8 32 x 1/4.  For whatever reason, mine did not have set screws with it. Wasn't a huge problem because as you said, just go to the hardware store and pick some up. I needed one for my spare MHS emitter anyway. Yeah, I definitely enjoy the narrower hilt design and I usually swing it around when contemplating the next steps of a work project. It's a very sexy design overall and I'm really glad to have it. |

Just put in my second UltraSabers order, and first Grab Bag order, earlier today..  Excited, excited! It'll be coming in along with my Liberator V2 that I had to send in for a repair. Fingers crossed! I'm really just hoping it's not.. A certain particular saber that I will not name for superstitious fear of jinxing.  But yeah, I'll post the results once it comes in! |

Came back from a vacation trip yesterday and had my first Grab Bag waiting for me! Opened up the box annnnnd..  A Dominix LE V3!  I specifically requested Guardian Blue because I wanted a traditional pair of blue and red lightsabers. With a somewhat heftier hilt and an Ultra Edge Heavy Grade blade, this saber is significantly heavier than my Liberator V2. However, it's still very comfortable to spin and wield, and I absolutely love it! For my inevitable next Grab Bag, I'm thinking of going fully random. I'll write a proper review soon with some better pictures, most likely! |

Landed a Dark not-so-Standard Issue v3. At first I thought it was one that was accidentally given War Glaive tooling, but no, this appears a deliberate custom job fitted to the existing Standard Issue grooves with tighter spacing than the WG. [EDIT: Checked the Dark Liberator sales page - apparently I never noticed the vertical-grooves as a standard option before, but there they are.]  Really enjoying the utility of the custom grooves on the hilt - makes for a nice one-handed grip below the button. |

Cool. I had seen the vertical lines before but had nt realised that they were actual grooves. That might help grip better. |

The dark standard is starting to grow on me, especially with the vertical grooves...will have to check into this one. Hand does it handle?

Without any chokes, the grip on this hilt isn't so great - it's slipped out of my hand a few times. Balance while one-handing it at the vertical grooves is really nice though. I'm thinking of ordering a few o-rings for the circular grooves to try and prevent future slips. It's also my first saber, so I can't really compare it to anything else~ It's not a bad hilt by any means. I think the only thing I don't like is the button placement - I just don't like the longer end of the emitter on the "bottom". |

With you on that. I bought Dark SI for a cheap stunt and to have my first BR blade. I have got the one without vertical. Definitely agree on grip - much prefer my Dominix LE 4 for grip. Know what you mean with placement of button. Guess it does make it different from Bellicose with longer end of emitter on top. |

The emitter does not look like the standard Overlord emitter. Can you provide some close-up pictures of the emitter? |
